Campus Art Events (Arts Alive)

Goal: Support faculty efforts to build art events into the university curriculum framework
(e.g. integrate plays, art, and/or music into course content across disciplines)

Divisional Reporting: Academic Affairs

Working Group Progress Update:

Investments provided support for community art events on campus. The working group
developed the Arts Alive initiative and identified four goals: increase awareness
of events and opportunities, increase attendance at art events, increase art making
opportunities, and expand art events and practices into the curriculum. The working
group has focused its efforts on increasing access to, and visibility of, performing
and visual arts on campus. In addition to the hiring of a faculty member to lead the
initiative, a series of "pop-up" musical, theatrical and artistic performances were
held on campus and visual art works were created in over 20 campus locations. Over
35,000 students, faculty and staff experienced Arts Alive events in 13/14, and over
100,000 in 14/15. Click here for more information about the Arts Alive Initiative.
